First game you can remember playing

[Corporal Yakob]

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for the PS1-I still remember that fateful day at primary school when that kid was handing out video-game cheats and I unlocked the secret crystal level.....

Man Croc rocks! Although it sucks that hardly anyone on the internet seems to have heard of him (Although given what the internet does to beloved childhood characters, thats probably a good thing....)

 

[greenitedaze]

commando for the BBC, or was it harrier jump jet?

 

[PinkiePyro]

sonic the hedgehog

 

[EGtodd09]

Pretty sure it was an old DOS game called Stunts, but after looking at some videos, it may have been a demo, or a different, but similar game.

Putt Putt Saves the Zoo and Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When it's Dark Outside for PC, and the abomination that is Arthur's Absolutely Fun Day for the GBC are some standouts from my childhood, and are most likely some of the first games I ever played.

Oh, and the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt NES cartridge. I LOVED those games.

 

[Leoofmoon]

Mortal combat 2

 

[Aeonknight]

Easy. Super Mario Bros. 1

 

[LoFr3Eq]

Probably Wolfenstein 3D, that or Duke Nukem (side scroller).

I remember things like Commander Keen, Sonic, some random detective game, Alex the Kid, The game where you're a caveman and you throw rocks, Jude of the Jungle, School Mom (actually pretty good for listening to musical score when you don't know how to play a song).

The first FPS game I played (except for WS3D) was Descent 2. That game was amazing.

 

[stormzor]

Warcraft Orcs&Humans
lands of lore III
quest for glory: so you want to be a hero

 

[StellarViking]

I remember Super Mario Land (not World) 2, Tetris, and also I had a yellow CD with a huge variety of military themed games on it that had Wolf3D (Which I loved), and this awesome vertical scroller game called Raptor where you fly a plane and shoot stuff, sort of like Aero Fighters.

EDIT: I FOUND IT! It's called Raptor: Call of the Shadows.

 

[Joshica Huracane]

Alex Kidd in Miracle World.
Though I think it was just "Alex the Kid" in my region. I forget.

 

[justnotcricket]

Lode Runner? On an Apple II?

I think that's it...if not, Lemmings on a 486.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Super Mario Bros. of course. I didn't finish it until I was much older, however.

 

[Wintermute_]

first game I played is impossible to remember. First game i owned though, was PIKMIN

 

[Mauso88]

Super Mario Bros. 3, it was the happiest experience of my life. Oh, to be 6 again. :>

 

[infohippie]

TBH, I can't quite remember if it was Asteroids (yes, the original arcade one) or Donkey Kong (again, the original arcade machine). I remember playing both of them, I just can't quite remember which one I encountered first. Damn I feel old.

 

[nomzy]

Pokemon blue.. I think. Unless it was super mario, eh I dunno.

 

[MoosieMann]

what was that game on the playstation with the green dinosaur? i remember is was called [blank] legend of the gobos.... i think

 

[TH3_D15HWA5H3R]

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time.
I can't even remember if I completed it or not...

win game is win...

first game was streets of rage, then golden axe

 

[The Apothecarry]

Duck Hunt, which explains my obsession and fascination with FPSs.
